yet another file upload question...

Question

User-1494278837 posted

running windows server 2008 SP2 - 64 bit -- IIS 7.5

I need to upload a file just over 100MB.

web.config:

 <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2000000000" executionTimeout="1000000" requestLengthDiskThreshold="2000000000" />

also did:

appcmd set config "GADOIDMA" - section:requestFiltering - requestLimiots.maxAllowedContentLength:2000000000 - commitpath: apphost

 I am geeting the traditional error:  System.Web.Httpexception: Maximum request length exceeded

Httpexception (0x80004005): Maximum request length exceeded.

 

Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.0.30319

 

ALL the articles i read seem to point to these two entries as a solution to the problem but not form me.  where else do you recommend i should Look.

 

Thanks

What is the value of maxAllowedContentLength?

If not set, try

<system.webServer>
   <security>
      <requestFiltering>
         <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="157286400" />
      </requestFiltering>
   </security>
 </system.webServer>

P.S.

Not sure about your command but there is a typo in requestLimiots (instead of requestLimits). Anyway, try to set it in in the web.config
